The Shortlisted Entries

This is my only shot (out of 4) that made it through the final 70 of the claimed hundred of entries submitted for the Historical Wedding Gown Photography competition which took place 2 weeks back. The 70 prints are now being displayed at brand new Penang Times Square, in conjuction with the 1st Penang Culture, Art & Lifestyle Fair from May 1st-3rd.

I finally made my way to see the rest of the entries a while ago. After checking them out, I can only put the judges credibility to question. Are they professionals who know what a good shot is? Only 10-20% of the entries are good. The rest are what I term as rejects - I easily have better shots which are featured here in my blog that didn't even make it pass my final selection!

No offence to the rest of the participants but those level of sub-standard work would not ever make it past a more credible photography competition! The results will be announced at 5pm tomorrow. Judging at the scenario, I doubt my shot can win the top prizes. Whatever the outcome is, I know of my own capability and the quality of my work - and those alone already made me a winner!
